Airport check-in
Ticket and baggage check-in for flights operated by LOT Polish Airlines (flight numbers LO001-3999*) is open at least:
- 2 hours before scheduled departure time at Polish airports (except Warsaw - check-in at our hub airport is possible several hours in advance) and other airports from which medium-haul flights are operated (Europe, Middle East and North Africa);
- 3 hours before scheduled departure time for flights from the USA, Canada and other long-haul flights.
Passengers must always take into account the check-in closing time for scheduled flights, and the possibility of longer waiting time for the security check.
*If you have a ticket for a PLL LOT flight operated by one of our partners (flight numbers LO 4000-5999), please contact the carrier operating your flight to obtain information about check-in opening and closing times.
